I have a problem with favor source :
say I have a file a.exe which reads b.txt from same folder.
Now if I make two components

a : a.exe : favor source

b : b.txt : favor local

a.exe is installed at source and is able to read b.txt .

Now if I do like:-

a : a.exe : favor source

b : b.txt : favor source

then a.exe is unable to read b.txt , though both are installed at source.


any clarification???

I guess that a.exe is not actually written to load b.txt from the same directory as a.exe but from the curent working directory.

Maybe a.exe reads from the registry where to find b.txt? If there is a registry-entry pointing to [INSTALLDIR]b.txt then it will allways point to the local folder. In order to point to the place where b.txt actually is, it should point to [#b.txt] (where b.txt is the file id).
